Dumpling no more - only the strong survive and we did No.3

[Teaandcakeplease]

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without him by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong

This thread is for ex dumplings. Any dumpling that feels like she has "mostly" moved past crisis into an "almost" sorted state can post and chat here as we continue our quest for serenity with a lot of laughs along the way and support.

Away to the chemist thsnks T

Mumfun, lovely to get some male attention . Tbh I take what fortune tellers say with a grain of salt i.e. I'll keep an open mind about pending relationship . However she was able to give me v accurate info & specific details about xh, she was 100% accurate on all of that down to details of financial separation!! She could tell me I was training to be a counsellor too & said I was on right path!! Seems strange thing for fortune tell to have told you & your sister though!! I think everyone has sadness in their lives at some stage so I don't think your doomed for continuing sadness!! I'm a real believer though that ultimately we really mould our own lives. Hope you get the date for your op soon so that at least you won't feel so up in the air then ((Hugs)) Oh & really happy that your ds had some good things happen

Patience, I'm thinking celibacy will only be a temporary issue for you

Well younger two dc's have been sick with coughs, tummy bugs & high temps for past 10 days or so. Ds had drama competition with school this morn & after performance someone kicked him & he started crying. When I went to check him I noticed he was burning up & brought him home. Well just checked him over & he's about 10 spots on stomach so I now think that maybe they were breathing chickenpox over past 10 days. Not 100% sure yet but I'm sure I'll know for sure if spots keep coming up over next few hrs. DD has none yet but has temp so fingers x'd if it is chickenpox they'll both get it so I'll it over & done with for both. Eldest already had them yrs ago tg as she has loads of drama competitions over next two wks. Rang xh to let him know I suspect chickenpox as I'd organised for him to mind youngest two tonight for an hr as eldest has a competition & he just said fine that's no prob, never asked to speak to dc's!!! Find it hard to believe someone could be so distracted/detached/self obsessed!!

Ok taken sinutab will report back.
starting u have given me hope x

Hope it gave you some relief from the nasty headache. I sometimes have to take 2 or 3 dosages until it all clears up.

Went to kick boxing and scored some points against the black belts woo hoo,good old sinutab

Hi 5 patience

Sinutab and kickboxing this week, anadin and kick boxing last week. Next week: kicking ass with calpol! x

Ok ladies, so I can cope with exbf making sweet love to a rather ethereal looking pipe player. I must have so much more self esteem than I had when I first "met" you all. Thank you for all your help in that department! I kept looking at this picture of them sitting in an arty event thingy (one of our mutual friends took it, it's not on his wall) and just thought - I'm really glad it's not me sitting there stroking his ego, trying to look interested in something which is essentially a load of cobbled together shite. And I'm glad it's not me having to almost be tested every time I see him, on everything from my taste in music to my view on pizza. And I'm glad I can be myself now, instead of trying to be what he wants. I'm quite liking being me actually. I'm not as bad as he made me feel :)

And he never just liked normal music. It always had to be something obscure. You know, like teenage boys do - they can't like anything anyone else likes. And sometimes you just want to dance to Kylie, really.

I had a bit of a thought today googs that i always thought i had to tone it down a bit,right thru my life i was always told off for being spirited.You wont get a man acting like that ........
I honestly dont care anymore.I punch like a good un.Quite fast and I smile the whole effin' time.Nothing wrong with being spirited ,you just have to channel it .
Also thought these folk Im fighting might be black belts but theyre not trained dumplings.

Do what you like and like what you do .....

away to look up ethereal and take more sinutab

Lol reading that Goo so glad to hear you can see the reality behind the smiles in those pics road to recovery, onwards & upwards

Patience, glad you've got your mojo back & kicked ass with the sinus & blackbelts

Well great success for dd tonight . Much joy & celebrations in casa Starting . Only downer was when we went to collect younger two from xh dd leapt out of car all excited dying to tell him she came first & the twunt never even asked her how she got on!!!! (I was in car so was unaware of this) He asked me to drop him about 10 mins away to where he'd left his car parked & while he was in the car ds was telling him that someone kicked him today, xh said & what did you do about it?? I intervened saying he told his teacher, which is the right thing to do as she will then sort it out in the proper way. I'd already explained to xh previously that some boys in the school are kicking/hitting etc & how important it was for us to show a united front with ds that violence of any type is not acceptable. Fukwit turned around & said "there's another way to deal with it too". I just gave him a look to cut him dead & said NO there is no other way to deal with it!! I think it went over ds's head but eldest dd was really disgusted with him saying this & also really upset that he showed such little interest in her coming first tonight. He did say how proud he was & well done etc but in a distracted way. Fukwit!!

Quite right love. Us dumplings are hard as effin nails! I was always a spirited lass. Enjoying being like that again now. Made my mate lok up ethereal woman on fb. She said "Will do but her being pretty doesn't detract from him being a knob". How very true!

Patience, there is no competition between a black belt & a determined dumpling They wouldn't stand a chance lol

her being pretty doesn't detract from him being a knob so true!! Wise friend you have there Goo

Pretty with zero dumpling training behind her ,poor soul.
Sorry XH was so preoccupied starting ,
fantastic news on the win !!!!!!!! must admit lots of kicking ,punching goes on in our house but i can at least say you keep that for the mat DS.
Im right into this btw ,almost bombing out sb man and holding out for martial arts bloke .But dont know where u meet them,maybe i will get to go to competitions soon ROFL and check out more fit blokes ........
